What students say about the camps

Meeting with so many Silicon Valley veterans as our mentors every Friday was an awesome experience. They all inspired us with tons of ideas that we could not absorb and write down fast enough. I learned so much from all the mentors

— Ron T., High School Senior

Getting a personal feedback of my startup idea from the creator and founder of Guitar Hero!! Are you kidding me? I have not attended any camp before with so many industry leaders as teachers.

— Kevin Z., High School Junior

I have not attended a summer camp like Game Changers before. The topics we learned were serious and related to our career in the real world but the entire camp was actually really fun. I learned so much in fun and engaging ways.

— Megan H., High School Junior

What parents have to say about camp experiences

Our son (age 16) had the privilege of attending the Game Changers camp the past 2 weeks. It was the most positive experience for him and he learned a great deal about entrepreneurship. We attended the Dolphin Tank presentations yesterday and we were blown away by how much the kids accomplished. Steve and Gigi are amazing teachers and mentors. We can tell how passionate they are with teaching and how invested they are in helping the kids to learn and achieve. We have 3 sons who have attended a multitude of summer programs over the years, and Game Changers is the by far the best camp and money well spent! All high school students would benefit from learning the skills offered by Game Changers.

— B. C., parent of 16 year old Menlo College student

There should be a category of summer camps called Passion Play. The Young Outliers “camp” was such an influential opportunity for my 14-year-old entrepreneur to develop his software product idea with a teammate from concept through to implementation. Young Outliers is so much more than a camp because Steve brings in several senior Silicon Valley mentors to provide one-on-one feedback for each group idea. Steve himself is so passionate about lighting a flame in our youth to think outside the box, trust their ideas and act on them.

— Yvonne C., parent of 14 year old Los Altos High School student

Thank you for a great experience for Anna at the Game Changers Camp. She learned a lot and really bonded closely with the other campers. She was hesitant to come to this in the beginning but then told me that she loved it and it was the first camp I sent her that she really liked.

— Nadir A., parent of Palo Alto high school student

Thank you so much for coming up with such a great camp design and for taking such a good care of my daughter. She enjoyed the camp and couldn’t stop talking about the experience and also her start-up idea. She was overwhelmed by how well their idea was received by all the Dolphin Tank judges. I know her partner’s father has helped filing the patent for their idea.
